+Steve B Subscriber² Posted December 27, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted December 27, 2012 When setting up a new virtual machine in Parallels 8 for Mac, one of the screens asks about the number of CPU cores. I can't figure out if its asking how many physical cores my processor has or how many cores do I want the VM to use. Also, what about hyper threading? I got a Core i7, 4 cores w/HT....what would be the best setting when at the CPU cores screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted December 27, 2012 MVC Share Posted December 27, 2012 It's asking how many cores you allow the VM to use, and it can easily be changed later in the VM options dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
